Starrett 3250Z-6 Stainless Steel Dial Height Gage, 0-6" Graduation Range, 0.001" Graduation

The Starrett stainless steel dial height gauge has a measurement range of 0 to 6" (150mm), a fine adjustment thumb roll, a slide lock, a steel scriber, and a hardened stainless steel bar. The dial gauge has distinct, easily read figures for precise measurement. A fine adjustment thumb roll provides precision measurements. A lock holds the slide in position. The included scriber, used to mark position on the workpiece, is steel for hardness and durability, cuts clean, sharp lines with smoothness and less pressure, and can reference zero from the bottom of the base to get the full usable range. The bar is hardened, stainless steel for long life and is back from the edge of the nose for stability. The base is hardened, ground, and lapped with finger grooves for a comfortable handgrip and ease of movement. The gauge can measure depth of holes, slots, and recesses with the PT08680A depth attachment (sold separately). The gauge comes with the scriber and an aluminum case with foam inserts to cushion the instrument.

Height gauges, sometimes referred to as gages, are precision measuring instruments that travel on a vertical column (also called the beam) to measure and/or mark the vertical distance from the base of an object in fine units. The vertical position of the gauge and its attached pointer are changed by turning a calibrated screw, or one or more feed wheels. Recorded rotations are read from a scale, a dial, counters, and/or an electronic display. A screw clamp holds the pointer to the gauge. The pointer is typically sharpened to act as a scriber, and can be used to mark a position on a workpiece by scratching its surface. On compatible units, the scriber may be replaced by an electronic touch-signal probe. Height gauges are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering.

The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company, founded in 1880, is headquartered in Athol, MA.
